Instructor Jamie Brownlee launches his new book, Access to Information and Social Justice: Critical Research Strategies for Journalists, Scholars, and Activists, co-written by Kevin Walby at Octopus Books (251 Bank St.). This book combines the political and the practical aspects of Access to Information (ATI) research into a single volume in order to help invigorate critical social science, investigative journalism, and activism in Canada. Not only does it expose some of the most important political stories and issues uncovered by ATI researchers in recent years, it also facilitates future investigations by demonstrating, in concrete ways, how any citizen can effectively use ATI requests in their work and in their capacity as socially engaged citizens.
